Muncie man accused of attacking pregnant woman

A Muncie man has been accused of attacking a woman who told police she is six weeks pregnant with his child.

The 30-year-old alleged victim told police Michael Samuel Kelly, 22, attacked her after she told him she wanted him out of her apartment.

Kelly allegedly punched the woman in the face, choked her until she lost consciousness and slammed her against the wall.

The woman said she then tried to defend herself with a box cutter, but ended up with a cut on her left hand. She was treated at her North Elgin Street apartment by emergency medical technicians.

Kelly was arrested Thursday night on preliminary charges of domestic battery, strangulation and battery on a pregnant female. He was being held in the Delaware County jail on Friday under a $10,000 bond.
